SEAN HANNITY (HOST): So, if you live in the east coast, there's a massive, massive storm coming. And that means we have to check in with Joe Bastardi, weatherbell.com, author -- tell everybody about your new book. How's the new book doing?

JOE BASTARDI: It's doing very, very well, and thank you for bringing it up the other day, and now it's called The Climate Chronicles: Inconvenient Revelations You Won't Hear From Al Gore And Others, and you can check it out on Amazon.

HANNITY: But they -- just one quick question on this -- they do lie to us repeatedly about global warming, and then it's global cooling, and then it's global --

BASTARDI: Yeah.

HANNITY: "The ice age is coming," Time Magazine had, and then the Earth is going to blow up, and burn up, and now they just -- they just call it global whatever climate change, because this way, it's generic. And if it's hot or too hot, they can say it's climate change. If it's cold, too cold, they can say it's climate change. But it didn't work out when they said "global cooling" or "global warming," so they had to fix it.

BASTARDI: Yeah, well, it's like if you were like in match, Sean, and every time you scored a point, the other guy got one. That's how it works, any answer is the right answer, anything can happen and probably will.

CNN has announced it hired former Department of Justice spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores as a political editor to "coordinate political coverage for the 2020 campaign at the network." This hiring decision is surprising given Isgur’s lack of journalism experience, her conflicts of interest stemming from previous roles in the Trump Justice Department and multiple GOP campaigns, and the fact that she personally pledged loyalty to President Donald Trump. But, additionally, Isgur repeatedly made cable news appearances where she pushed false and highly partisan talking points over the years, raising even more questions about the value of involving her in 2020 campaign coverage.
